They both have same height,

let the height of both triangles be = x

let the base one triangle = y

then the base of another trainlgle = 2y

Area of triangle = 1/2 X B X H

Area of Triangle 1


(1)/(2) * y * x \\ = > (xy)/(2)

Area of Triangle 2


(1)/(2) * 2y * x \\ = > (2xy)/(2) \\ = > xy

Difference in the area =


xy - (xy)/(2) \\ = > (2xy - xy)/(2) \\ = > (xy)/(2)

Hence Area of Triangle 1 is half the area of Triangle 2

Difference of 1/2 area.
